#1. Ric Flair reportedly set to be taken off WWE RAW

Ric Flair's role as the manager of Randy Orton on WWE RAW and his continued appearances despite the COVID-19 pandemic has surprised many fans.

A report from Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co stated that WWE might take Ric Flair off TV soon. A WWE source close to WrestlingNews.co told them that Ric Flair was brought in as Vince McMahon wanted high profile names on WWE TV due to the severe drop in ratings. The absence of many top Superstars was also one of the reasons why Ric Flair was featured on RAW.

It was added that everyone backstage has been cautious when close to Ric Flair as they realize the COVID-19 risks considering his advanced age and his history of health issues.

Getting Flair back was also reportedly supposed to be a temporary thing, and it was also stated that the Nature Boy is happy with his role as the manager of The Legend Killer.

Randy Orton and Big Show are scheduled to face each other in an unsanctioned match on the RAW after Extreme Rules. The match was originally slated for Extreme Rules, but it was moved to boost the viewership figures of RAW.
